2021 Map of Port Alexander D-3 NW

About this map

Baranof Island is dominated by the steep, forested terrain of the Tongass National Forest in this southeastern Alaska survey. The landscape is defined by high elevation relief and glacial valleys, with the Vodopad River flowing through the northern portion of the quadrangle. As a modern digital representation, the map highlights the intricate hydrological network of the Alexander Archipelago, showing numerous unnamed alpine lakes and small tributaries that feed into the larger river systems. The lack of named settlements or roads reflects the wilderness character of this part of the Sitka City and Borough, where the United States Forest Service manages the vast majority of the land for conservation and natural resources.
